<h1>Video Card 2D Speed</h1>
<p>This test performs multiple sprite animations on a DirectDraw canvas. It tests how many sprites it can draw simultaneously while maintaining a frame rate of at least 30 fps. Sprites are at least 32x32 pixels in size and at least 200 sprites must be shown on screen. The results are measured in sprite pixels per second.</p>
<p>After the test has completed you are presented the results.</p>
<p>The video card speed measures how many pixels it can draw in one second. This 
is measured in MP/s, or millions of pixels per second. Most modern video cards can draw 
more than 100 MP/s in 2D.&nbsp; When you buy a new video card these days, you should 
expect at least 400 MP/s 2-D performance, or else it's not a very good deal, 
whatever the price may be.</p>
